[2]History of Rome, Niebuhr, Hare’s trans., i. 576. Niebuhr has been
followed in the text, although the “nexum” is one of the vexed points
of Roman law. (See Über das altrömische Schuldrecht, Savigny.) The
precise form of the contract is, however, perhaps, not very important
for the matter in hand, as most scholars seem agreed that it resembled
a mortgage, the breach of whose condition involved not only the loss
of the pledge, but the personal liberty of the debtor. See Gaius, iv. 21.
[3]History of Rome, Niebuhr, Hare’s trans., ii. 599. But compare
Aulus Gellius, xx. 1.
[66]Ibid., xxviii. Latin literature is full of references to these famous
laws. Tacitus, Pliny, Juvenal, and Martial constantly speak of them.
There were also many commentaries on them by Roman jurists.

[333] Macaulay’s essays have been the subject of much recent adverse
criticism; but, in regard to the plundering of Hindostan, nothing of
consequence has been brought forward against him. All recent historical
work relating to India must be taken with suspicion. The
whole official influence has been turned to distorting evidence in order
to make a case for the government.
